'The Dark Knight Rises': Batwing revealed in new on-set video

Leaked video footage from the Pittsburgh shoot of The Dark Knight Rises has revealed that the Batwing will feature in the forthcoming movie.

Fans captured filming of Batman's (Christian Bale) militarised aircraft 'flying' through the city streets on a hydraulic vehicle yesterday afternoon.

The Batwing has been given a stripped-back redesign in keeping with the realistic feel of Christopher Nolan's superhero series, and now appears as a mix between a stealth bomber and the Caped Crusader's tumbler.

In the scenes, the Batwing can be viewed chasing what appears to be an armoured truck presumably belonging to the film's antagonist Bane (Tom Hardy).
